About
The Reno Punk Rock Flea Market is a 100% volunteer-run D.I.Y non-profit serving the Reno art and music scene since 2018.
We’re dedicated to amplifying the arts and music in Nevada through hosting public events like the Punk Rock Flea Market, offering educational workshops, hiring local artists and bands, and providing a forum for creative self-expression for folks to share their talents with the greater community.
We produce several large events each year, as well as a monthly all-ages matinee designed to give emerging bands stage time & fair pay. Our goal for the next five years is to purchase our own venue where we can facilitate even more all-ages events and provide a permanent safe space for all of our community members to collaborate & create.
All donations go directly to our events and community sponsorships, like the School of Rock Half Stack Grant, which provides financial support to young musicians.
our next big event is our august Neutral Ground!
Fleas The Season Sign Ups Are Live
More About The Punk Rock Flea Event
Our flagship event is the Reno Punk Rock Flea Market. It’s an all-ages, DIY event. In 2022, we expanded to two Fleas a year! Our Fleas The Season Holiday Flea is in the Fall and our standard Flea is in the Spring.
The Flea is always all ages and kids under 12 are free! We have food trucks, activities, kids crafts, car smash and so much more!
Here’s a little bit more about our flagship event -
The Reno Punk Rock Flea Market is a weekend party with 10+ bands (local & traveling) and 100+ vendors who are artists, activists, non-profits and makers. We smash cars, make stuff, connect with like-minded folks, drink beer and have a pretty great time. Despite the constant loud music and car smashing, we are family-friendly! (If you’re the sort of family that likes punk rock and disrupting the status quo). We also have an interactive kiddo section, complete with Drag Story Time!
Another fan favorite is our POSSUM PILE, which is basically a gigantic free clothing swap section so bring all your old stuff and leave with something new.
We have several food trucks rocking out all weekend long and a bar for your drinking needs.
Although we are a non-profit ourselves and all of our events are volunteer-run, we also donate a percentage of our Flea revenue to sponsor other events and organizations in our community. Past RPRFM recipients include School of Rock, G.I.R.L.S Rock Reno, Our Center, Trans Support Reno, Sassabration, Schellraiser, Dancing in the Streets and more! Our goal is to support the art and music scene in Northern Nevada, however we can! Thank you for supporting the Flea and showing everyone how rad Reno is!
